Raise a magical girl and then regret it for the rest of your life? !

"...No more wishes?"

After listening to Bai Yu's words, You Yu stood there in silence for a while, and then asked:

"Do you want to become stronger?"

"...I think so."

After thinking for a while, Bai Yu answered.

"Then, how about making a new wish for this purpose?"

"...I'm afraid not."

Listening to the question asked by You Yu again, Bai Yu shook his head and sighed.

"I do want to become stronger...but, I just 'want'."

"I haven't thought about...making becoming stronger my wish."

The wish of a magical girl is not to make a wish in your heart casually, and then you can be quickly affected by it and make yourself stronger.

It must be a real wish...made from the bottom of your heart, and you must achieve it.

Otherwise it will be useless.

And now she...

can't find the "wish" in her heart, and can't find the answer.

"Well... if it's not to become stronger, then it should be for 'protection', right?"

After thinking for a while, Youyu said:

"Bai Yu, although you say that you don't have any wishes, sometimes... people's true thoughts may not even be seen by themselves, but others can see it clearly from their actions-"

"Bai Yu, your current wish should be 'protection', right? You don't want to hurt me, and you don't want Wu Yue and Liu Meng's relationship to fall apart, so you choose to use a 'stupid' way to help us..."

"From these actions, maybe this is your real wish?"

"...No."

After a moment of silence, Bai Yu shook his head and denied Youyu's statement.

Then, she looked at Youyu's face, who had untransformed at some point and was standing in front of her holding the black umbrella. After taking a deep breath, she said:

"Just as you said, Youyu, I now admit that--"

"The reason why I did that and did these things... was because of my inner 'guilt' and 'uneasiness'."

"... Therefore, when I was doing these things, I didn't feel happy, but nervous and flustered."

"Because I was worried every moment whether you would be affected by a mistake in my actions."

"So... if this is really my wish..."

After a pause, Bai Yu laughed helplessly and said:

"Then it would be impossible for me to always be 'on tenterhooks' when doing these things..."

"I don't think you are right."

"Huh?"

However, just after Bai Yu had just said her conclusion, Youyu immediately spoke up and interrupted her.

Facing Bai Yu's astonished eyes, You Yu said in a firm tone:

"The so-called 'nervous'... this statement is not correct."

"Because..."

"I saw you laugh."

"..."

"Laughed?"

After a moment of silence, Bai Yu exhaled and said:

"But that's just--"

"That's just your subconscious neglect, and you just think you 'shouldn't' and endure it."

"Bai Yu, I have no reason to deceive you on this matter."

Shaking his head, You Yu said seriously:

"Whether you accompanied me to 'search for memories' or when you agreed with Wu Yue Liu Meng and the others to go home with me, you have really smiled."

"...You were happy at that time, I can see that."

"Why do you deny this?"

"..."

Seeing Bai Yu fall silent and not respond for a long time, You Yu sighed, then looked away, noticed something, slightly moved the umbrella, and looked at the sky that had become blue - at this time, the dark clouds had dispersed and began to emit sunlight.

"..."

After thinking for a while and making a decision in his heart, Youyu turned his head again and looked at Baiyu in front of him. He decisively put away the black umbrella, then grabbed one of Baiyu's hands, put the umbrella in her hand, and said:

"Baiyu, although it's a bit sudden, please listen to me."

"Now, I suddenly thought of some things... I have to deal with them."

"And after dealing with those things..."

"Tonight, I want to go somewhere with you."

"... Youyu?"

Listening to what came out of Youyu's mouth, Baiyu seemed to realize something, and her tone became uncontrollably a little fearful. She couldn't help but stretch out her other hand to grab Youyu's hand that she hadn't had time to retract, and said:

"Where do you want to go?""Don't worry, I'm just leaving for a while."

Seeing Bai Yu holding his hand tightly, unwilling to let go, You Yu put his other hand on it and said in a steady tone:

"Some things... I have to go find Wu Yue."

"... Find Wu Yue? Why?"

"Because there are some things about my past that I want to ask her."

"... Ask her? But, can't you--"

"..."

The rest of the words were not said, because at this moment, Bai Yu finally reacted.

Yes... You Yu has recovered some of his previous memories.

So now, it is normal for him to go back to find Wu Yue.

Then she should have no reason... to interfere with his affairs again.

And this time, the battle she proposed was also lost by her.

So, after a moment of silence, Bai Yu finally let go of her hand, still with some uneasiness in her tone, and asked:

"... Youyu, will you really come back?"

"Yes."

Youyu nodded.

"Then, where is the place you said you were going tonight?"

"When the time comes... I'll tell you."

"..."

"Okay."

Looking at Youyu's softened expression, Bai Yu wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't say anything, so she could only nod.

"Well, then goodbye, Bai Yu."

Then, after saying this, she looked at Youyu, turned around, and slowly left...

"..."

————

Bai Yu didn't know how she spent the next few hours.

She just "mechanically" and numbly returned home, then ate a hastily prepared dinner, and stared at her phone... or the ceiling, in a daze.

Then... until the time reached nine o'clock, she received a message from Youyu, and then she rushed out of the house.

Arrived at the place Youyu mentioned - near a river bank at the edge of Rainbow City.

"..."

After arriving there... all I saw were those elderly people who still maintained their enthusiasm and vitality at night - dancing in the square, or children running on the streets and playing.

These scenes were different from what Bai Yu remembered.

Because... it used to be very quiet here.

But now, people are coming and going, and it has become lively.

So, Bai Yu could only be swept away by the flow of people, while shuttling in the flow of people, while looking for Youyu's trace.

After searching for a while, she found that Youyu sent her a message - he was stuck in traffic now, and he needed to come later, so he asked her to go around first.

So, Bai Yu had no choice but to come to the river bank, looking at the newly appeared bright lights on the opposite side of the river... and was in a daze.

And it was at this time.

"Click!"

The shutter sound of a camera suddenly sounded, which made Bai Yu get rid of her daze.

"Youyu?"

Turning her head to look at the place where the voice came from, Bai Yu saw Youyu fiddling with the camera.

At this moment, he seemed to be fiddling with something and ignored her for a while.

"Ah... is it really like this?"

After a while, he sighed with regret, then picked up a photo in his hand, pointed it at Bai Yu, and said:

"As expected... Bai Yu, you still can't smile."
